ESPN: NFLPA files collusion suit vs. NFL

The union is not suing the NFL to gain back 21 million dollars of cap space for the Cowboys and Redskins. They wouldn't even bother to pick up the phone for that. Hell, they agree to that part.

The leverage thing was in response to why the union was using this lawsuit as a threat ( leverage ) in order to get what they wanted. This lawsuit is the last resort now that the NFL didn't want to budge. Now the NFL is forced to respond to it in court ( likely ), settle quickly ( unlikely ), or take it to court and eventually come to a settlement ( likely final scenario ). The other outcome is the one that I don't particularly want to see: The union winnning the case and the league having to pay billions and billions. Not because I'm fond of the owners, but because this could lead to something drastic..

The cap thing is now irrelevant as an underlying issue.

Clearly, they wouldn't sue just to reinstate the cap room for the Cowboys, you must take me for a fool. I meant including it within a group of things they'd throw on the table.
